Indians, in those lands.
From Gorsuch:
The scope of their dispute
is limited; nothing we might say today could unsettle Oklahoma’s authority to try non-Indians for crimes against nonIndians on the lands in question. See United States v.
McBratney, 104 U. S. 621, 624 (1882). Still, the stakes are
not insignificant. If Mr. McGirt and the Tribe are right, the
State has no right to prosecute Indians for crimes committed in a portion of Northeastern Oklahoma that includes
most of the city of Tulsa. Responsibility to try these matters
would fall instead to the federal government and Tribe.
